I was transporting my tractor, and took a rock.

I have 8.1 hours on it. UGH!

I taped up the glass to try and keep it in one piece.

Welcome to TBN............

That sucks. I bought insurance for my LS tractor in 2014 which covers glass. I've bought new tractors before but the LS was my new first Cab tractor. So far I haven't had to submit a claim. I'm sure cab glass isn't cheap. Hope it doesn't hurt too much.

It's worth checking out. Thanks.


I had a full on the tractor planned for tomorrow. I guess I get the day off now. :)

Super bummer , your insurance should cover IT , I have a cab also and my insurance covers the whole cab . Just a heads up I put a packing blanket with a piece of cardboard over IT with IT duct taped down , looks Kinda bad but effictive, good luck

Looks like it was a BIG rock. I don't think I've ever seen a front windshield crack/craze quite that way.

Be certain to give us the final details.

Around here most contractors have a blanket/winter front made that covers the window. The blanket has oval shaped holes evenly spaced around the perimeter which correspond to fasteners attached to the cab. A quarter turn of each fastener and the blanket is attached. Easy on and off.

I always back onto the trailer. The rear window is flat and cheaper. :thumbsup:

I've blown out 2 glasses with rock strikes mowing hay with a side cutter. First was a right door, and last year the second was right rear window. Both were in stock in the Plainview warehouse and I had the first in 3 days UPS and the second within a week because I forgot to get it drop shipped to me....went to the dealer then on to me. These weren't warranty problems and I paid the bills. Grant you cab glass isn't cheap. Sorry for your loss.
